After more than a year dithering on my next step printer from a fully tricked out Ender 3 Pro, I went with the Sonic pad and embraced Klipper. Doubled the speed (from 50mm/sec profiles to 100mm/sec profiles)......but that's like putting new gen tires on a Model T.....there are simply underlying...

If you've ever worked with wood, you probably know what a scarf joint is and why you would want to use it. If you're reading this, you probably have experienced yucky standard seams in your 3D prints. Looks like folks are working on a development for Orca slicer (which, if it works with...

Not sure if anyonehas heard this yet, but it was posted in another forum that I frequent. Apparently Bambu is recalling all full sized A1 units due to an extreme chance of fire caused by a faulty cable. If you purchased directly from Bambu you should go to their announcement and initiate a...

So, with the path forward in upgrading my Ender 3 Pro with Klipper, that’s ignited the passion for another printer. Something in the P1P/Mk4 category that has baseline speeds in the hyper category. My friend next door has an Ender 3 went from 50mm/sec to 125mm/sec with similar acceptable...

I have a household directive to 'Print some pretty stuff with that shiny stuff that has different colors in it. That cute rose dragon thingy that moved, a rose, a cute little frog, maybe a turtle......." I have zero experience with silk multicolor filament, and a quick search through Amazon...

If you like music of a certain generation, you need to go see these folks while they're still able to tour. https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/tim-bachman-guitarist-bachman-turner-overdrive-dead-71

Not using that AT 54/2560 case? Just collecting dust? Well, today is YOUR lucky day! I wanna buy it! Yes, yes, I know that our vendors have plenty in stock at highly competitive prices ($165ish), but these are hard times for rocketeers, and I'm checking here first for a used one in case...

This spring I'll be launching 75mm motors in a legacy MadCow DX3 XL (4" fiberglass with a 75mm motor mount), and will probably be venturing into one of Wildman's 5" or 6" offerings by this fall and I got to thinking about thrust plates. I've never used one before, never felt that the...

OK, decided to treat myself to a fresh batch of Rocketpoxy for Christmas since it's my go to glue and I've had great results (been through 1 1/2 sets of 2 pint batches so far with ZERO issues). Ordered/received, no issues at all(although it was NOT from my preferred vendor as he was OOS at the...

I've recently invested in some 54 and 76mm Loki tubes and reloads. Those grains have BIG cores compared to what I have been using (29 and 38mm motors and a few 54mm AT motors)! I've been using the little starters from Wildman (and I think I got some from Teddy/OBH somewhere along the line...

I've found the rocket kit that I wanted for my 4"/75mm project. Scored a previous generation fiberglass Madcow DX3XL for a crazy good deal! 4" diameter, 75mm mount, 92" tall! Since this is the first really heavy rocket that I've done, figured I'd ask here about how you build your rockets of...

Not using that AT 75mm 2560 case nearly as much as you thought you would? Collecting dust and you'd rather put that money toward your next great rocketry idea? Got a few extra closures laying about and no real idea why you ever bought them? Well, THIS is your lucky day! I would love to...

I’m at a crossroads for where to go next with my build projects. I desperately want a 4” fiberglass rocket (WM something), but I’m on the fence with getting it in a 54mm or a 75mm motor mount. I already have several 3” fiberglass rockets with 54mm mounts that I get full J and K fun with, and...

Anyone got a OR or RS file for the 3" Wildman Shape Shifter that they would care to share? I've searched here and on the Wildman site, no joy. Thanks!

OK, so my latest build project is a 3" fiberglass vehicle with a 54mm motor tube. I intend this to be my basic 'workhorse' go-to 3"/54mm rocket, so it'll see a lot of use. The issues comes to recovery harness mounting in the fin can. 1) Teddy's (OBH) method of 3/16" welded eyes, and perhaps...

Up Front: THIS IS NOT A ROCKET PROJECT but I don't have any local resources to turn to. No one in my circle is a 3D printer or CAD person. I need design help making a 3D printed 'chip' business card for my wife's cleaning business. I've pounded my head against TinkerCad and can't get it to...

So, as we progress into larger and larger motors and rockets, we all like different things......but FIRE and THUNDER always seem to be pleasing on such a visceral level. What's YOUR favorite motor for producing a crazy flame:rocket ratio, or for a thunderous roar?

Performed my NAR L2 flight today at Bayboro. Started as a typical fall/winter Bayboro....fog, low clouds, and wind. By 10AM the fog burned off, the clouds had scattered, and the wind picked up. Took my time prepping my L2 rocket. Took a year and a half to build it working off and on. 4 inch...

So one of my rocket buddies and I were discussing redundant dual deploy yesterday. We defined it as a dual deploy set-up with 2 independent switch/battery/computer/deployment charge systems. From there, neither of us really had a good threshold of when or why we considered it necessary, or...

Looking for a handful of Missile Works style screw switches. They seem to be out of stock everywhere....just when I'm in the process of rebuilding all of my avionics bays and find myself in need of 10-12 of them. Willing to pay market rate and shipping....or my undying gratitude if you know of...
